    They already own their home and are enjoying life.

    -by exploiting other’s labor and creating a bigger wealth disparity than has ever existed

      Blah blah blah, I know anyone who makes more than 150k a year bougie and stealing from the poor. You ain’t going to make headway there with me

        It’s not the amount of money it’s the method of acquisition. An engineer or independent contractor or something could make that kind of money and still not be considered bourgeoisie. (Though probably petit-bourgeoisie?)

          Still a prole until you stop relying on selling your labour power for money. Though an outlier statistically.

              It did make me think of examples where there are edge cases though. Say a freelancer or an artist that, although they do not directly employ people, their income from their work could be greatly multiplied by the work done by others. In the end it might just boil down to details whether such an arrangement is or is not petit bourgeoisie.
